Winter is well and truly here, folks. And if you’re anything like us, you’ve got the extreme urge to curl up on the couch with a variety of snacks within reach and binge-watch everything from Stranger Things 4 through to Everything I Know About Love. All you need now is a hooded blanket.
Hooded blankets, Oddies, Snuggies, Comfys, oversized hoodies, whatever you wanna call them have really taken off over the last few years. And while lockdown and working from home might be to blame, it’s easy to see why they aren’t going anywhere any time soon. Plus, they’re a great way to help cut down on heating costs as they start to rise.
Ahead, we’ve rounded up a bunch of them just in time for winter. Bonus points, some of them are even on sale right now.
To say Oodie has a cult-following is putting it lightly. Crafted from only the softest, most cuddly-soft materials, each Oodie is made from toasty-warm sherpa fleece on the inside and buttery-soft, Toastytek flannel fleece on the outside. They were designed to be fully machine washable (a dream), and are one size fits most hooded blankets. Once you own one, fans of the brand reckon you’ll never want to take it off.
The best part though is that they come in a range of different themes, you can snuggle up in everything from foodie-themed ones (think Krispy Kreme and Avocado Oodies) right through to animal-themed ones (think unicorns and penguins Oodies).
Where to buy: Oodie ($104, usually $129)
You might recognise this comfy from its Shark Tank debut. The Comfy is a huge, one-size-fits-all hooded blanket that combines an ultrasoft, microfiber exterior with a luxurious, sherpa-lined interior to make you think a cloud is hugging you.
You can choose from a range of different Comfy colourways including blue, blush, black, grey and green camo.
Cosying up on the couch to watch your favourite TV series in winter has never been easier with these oversized hoodies. They come in seven different unisex patterns and are basically half-price right now.
Where to buy: Cotton On ($30, usually $59.99)
Bree (aka @_breegrant) has been playing with beauty products since she was tall enough to reach her mothers makeup bag. She lives for testing out products before they hit shelves and has been known to put her body on the line for a sex toy review or two. (Someones gotta do it?!) When she’s not busy being the E-Commerce Editor at PEDESTRIAN.TV, and the Australian versions of VICE, Refinery29, Business Insider, Gizmodo, Lifehacker and Kotaku, she’s usually at the beach attempting to live out her Blue Crush dreams, shell necklace included.
